There are two ski hills in New England with the same name and they are not that far apart: Black Mountain in Rumford, Maine and Black Mountain in Jackson, NH.
I apparently skied Black Mountain on one of their big promotion days - free skiing for all the kids in town or something to that extent. I got there shortly after they opened in the late afternoon and started to put down first tracks through 16 inches of untouched powder on a side trail when I promptly fell and found myself thoroughly stuck. By the time I extricated myself from the snow, 3 kids had whizzed by and put down first, second and third tracks.
I did one run and ran away.
About Me
- Jen-ski
- I am an avid skier/snowboarder from Connecticut who enjoys New England winters. One day several years ago while dwelling in my cubicle at work pushing paper in a meaningful manner, I dreamed of a New England ski quest -to ski/board every ski resort in New England. A delightful quest highly recommended for all. Let it snow!
